See Defending yourself against claims.

WikiKing123 is a family member. He and I have similar interests and views. Just because he works on some of the same articles doesn't mean that he is my puppet! He has joined Wikipedia relatively recently, and still has much to learn regarding policies. I have made many constructive edits over the past 2+ years and please judge me on my own merits and track record. He had given me a barnstar, but I have deleted this in order to avoid any appearance of bias. His editing of ultrasound related articles is not against wikipedia guidelines. We both are interested and very knowledgeable in this field. We both identify with the pro-life movement, and his edit of Kilgore was a constructive edit and not a vandalism issue. The one area where I stand humbly corrected is the point that Jean Sasson was a member of Feminists for Life. We have a mutual friend who is a member of Feminists for Life and she conveyed to us that she is a member who spoke at a recent conference. As there is no citation, it is correct to delete this contribution. I am sorry for the confusion and will make sure to always cite my information from reliable literature/sources. I have apologized on the discussion page for the error. There is no prohibition against two users from the same family working on articles, but I understand that in controversial articles/disputes, this should not be done. I promise that this will not happen in the future. I will ask WikiKing to stay clear of my edits from now on and find his own niche in Wikipedia. I will continue to improve as a loyal junior member of Wikipedia through constructive criticism. I still have much to learn from experts such as yourselves and hope that one day I will be in a position to guide others. I humbly request that this complaint be dismissed.

 * I'd like to clarify that you deleted the barnstar after I opened this investigation. Sole Soul (talk) 07:23, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

I feel like I kinda goofed up. Boromir and I live together and I have been planning to edit for some time now. We use the same computer and study near one another. I've been following Boromir's edits/articles and there were a couple times when I made edits supporting him that could definitely be considered biased. I defended him because he is my family and felt that I needed to support him. We shoulda probably made our relationship more public rather than act like we are not related. The blame is mine primarily, and if I need to be banned, I welcome that and hope that I can move on from this mistake. I intend to distance myself from Boromir's contributions to avoid any such conflict of interest. WikiKing1234 (talk) 12:39, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * If the clerk is convinced that WikiKing1234 is a sockpuppet for Boromir123, then Boromir123 should get tough sanctions for using his sockpuppet here. This shows that he did not learn.Sole Soul (talk) 13:18, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Conclusions
I'm assuming good faith that this is a family member with an account, and I have advised Boromir123 to declare so on the user page and to watch out for meatpuppetry. MuZemike 17:49, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
